The composition, with a strong narrative and academic character, draws on classical models popularized by Nicolas Poussin and his school in the 17th century, revived in the 19th century by historicist workshops seeking to recreate great mythological scenes with monumentality and precision. The canvas, with delicately modulated flesh tones, powerful marine horses, and dramatic, undulating fabrics, reflects a neoclassical taste that connects with the French and Italian Baroque tradition. The widespread crackling is consistent with the work's age, and the period frame reinforces its decorative presence. frame 187x131 canvas 170x114 This piece is attributed to the mentioned designer/maker.
